The past few weeks Marquis was feeling extremely down. He had finally found a job but he could feel a very huge gap forming between Serena and him. After leaving Serena's younger sister for her they both had to end up living in a world of secrets. First it was their marriage which had leaked out to town, but now they had another secret.
Declan Keaton was born a few months after their marriage and they had kept him from his extended family for a long time. Poor Declan knew that there was something wrong because he showed signs of being a little nerotic from time to time. No matter how many times Marquis would tell Serena to tell Declans aunts and uncles about him she simply refused.
Serena was determined to take everything on to herself and Marquis couldn't understand it. She wanted to be a surgeon so she spent most of her time studying on her computer, hoping for a promotion. Even though Marquis would try to cook dinner she simply lelft it all untouched.
When she wasn't studying she would take all of the responsibilities of Declan on to herself as well. She sat and taught him how to talk and potty trained him. She spent the most time with him not even bothering to let Marquis help out in the slightest.
Serena was taking up so much time with Declan that his relationship with Marquis was beginining to be affected. Everytime Marquis would hold him he would begin to cry out for his mother.
Declan even began to enjoy the maids company more than his own fathers. Marquis was at his wits end!!
Completely upest Marquis turned to his father for help. "How did you manage a career, me, and your marriage dad?" Marquis asked him. "Your mother and I worked together in harmony son. Right now you and Serena lack that harmony. She has a dream and Declan was very unexpected you have to assert yourself as the father, take the time, don't ask for it. She will be grateful for it."
Taking his fathers advice Marquis took the time to be with Declan. He woke up early in the morning to feed him before Serena could do it.
He even took the initiative to teach Declan how to walk so that Serena wouldn't have to stress out about trying to find the time for it.
Soon enough Declan was finally content with being held by his father. Marquis felt good about his relationship with his son now but was still a little worried with what was going to happen with the relationship with his wife.
*Notes* when i came back from playing Celeste and Gideon, I entered the Keaton house to find Declan sitting in the middle of the floor. Serena and Marquis were never out and about, and since Celeste and Serena hate each other right now there was no way I could know that she was preggers. So Declan was very unexpected!! Either way I found a mod for story progression so I shouldn't have too many more suprises like Declan again.
